SAPUI5 goes TechEd Las Vegas & Barcelona – We’re ready for three days packed with hacking together with UI5 techies from all over the world!

In here we’ll give you a quick overview of our upcoming topics and the SAPUI5 Experts on stage. Check out all SAPUI5 sessions and the detailed Agenda for Vegas and Barcelona:

Where will the SAPUI5 journey go?

Right now, SAPUI5 is a JavaScript framework specialized to develop enterprise-ready Web apps, including SAP Fiori apps. It combines new qualities such as openness, flexibility, and high speed of innovation with established SAP strengths like enterprise readiness and standard support. But what will its future look like? Chief Product Owner Stefan Beck will take you on a journey through the SAPUI5 roadmap and give an overview of current and planned capabilities.

Get Started Building High Quality Apps – From Great Design to Functional SAPUI5

Follow our UX and Dev Experts to get started building apps that truly meet your users‘ needs. Experience the design process of SAP, learn prototyping with BUILD, and finally create fully grown SAP Fiori apps on the base of SAPUI5. Fiori Concept Veterans Janina and Jan will show you the UX perspective going hand in hand with UI5 Old Hand Michael and New Comer Merlin. This way you’ll learn using latest technology while having an eye on current design guidelines. Don’t miss out on tips and tricks for data binding and performance from our guys who definitely will make your SAPUI5 development a lot easier.

Dodge the Bullet: Improve Your Code and Troubleshoot it Easily

Fixing apps is daily business of us devs: callback issues, reduced performance, garbage collection, tight coupling of event and business processes, and incorrect CSS overrides are messy and time-consuming. But Michael is your go to guy when it comes to coding issues! He’ll show you hands-on what and where things usually go wrong. Additionally, UI5 Pro Matthias will give useful insights into integrating the UI5 Support Tools and guide you through successfully analyzing and debugging hidden issues in your app.

UI5 developers Merlin and Matthias will show how to support continuous integration with build processes for apps with SAPUI5 – and give you a glimpse of the flexible, yet stable build tooling they’re already working on. Follow their deep dive into automated tests like QUnit and OPA, as well as migration processes and have a closer look into real issues with Matthias afterwards in his code-review session!

Flexibility is Key: Make SAP Fiori Apps Work the Way You Do

Ever wish you could add or reorder frequently used fields? Learn how SAPUI5 flexibility allows power users to customize apps intuitively and discover how to easily rename or hide fields and share this with your team. No coding, no breaking the app and no impact on the system admin’s duties – adapt SAP Fiori apps to fit the way you work!
